West London Line...... Chelsea station
There is absolutely NO certainty that the much-vaunted "Chelsea" (i.e,. Chelsea
Harbour) station will ever be built.
This was a trick by the developers (St. George) and used as a bribe to the
treacherous council (London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham) in order to get
planning consent for the massively over-dense and traffic-generating and
road-gridlock-inducing development, from which everyone living in this part of
Fulham is now suffering.
Originally the council was vehemently opposed to the development (and supported
the residents who were opposed to the road traffic and others detriments that
this massive Chelsea Harbour Mark 2 would cause - now being built all along
Townmead Road) but a few bribes by St. George (like the promise of said railway
station, and some cheap homes for council-allocation) and the council performed
a 180 degree maneouvre and granted planning consent.
Not even a scintilla of a sign of the station being built - some 6 or so year
later!
I'd be willing to bet the value of my now much-devalued house on this station
NEVER being built.
